About Teddy:
Teddy is an absolutely beautiful chocolate colored border collie mix. He started his life out in a hoarding house with over 20 other animals so he's had very little training. But despite that, he is a REALLY sweet boy. He loves to be with his people, chew on stuffies, and run around in the snow.
We've been working on kennel training and he's doing really well! He will often need some convincing to go into his crate. But once he's in, he's quiet and calm. We currently crate him at night, during meal time, when we're gone, and for short periods throughout the day so that he can get used to being in there during the day time if his future family works outside of the home. Potty training has been going well too! He waits by the door 80% of the time and is really good about getting his business done first and then playing once we're outside. This has been really helpful because this dog loooooves the snow! He prances around our yard and loves to chase the other dogs. We've noticed that as he has settled in more, his energy level has increased so having the ability to let him run as much as he wants has been really great. We haven't taken him on walks because he was pretty timid when he first arrived then the holiday chaos happened. But he will need some work on leash walking if his future family prefers walks over free play in a fenced yard! I'm sure he would love walks with his family though.
Teddy has done well with our dogs (they're his size or smaller) and has been respectful of our cats. He will occasionally try to push out cats out of their napping spot and they respond with a hiss. But he reacts appropriately and finds a new spot to snooze. We have young kids as well and he sometimes knocks them over unintentionally or mistakes their toys for his. But that's the only "issues" we've had! He doesn't mind the loud noises or unexpected movements and really loves when they give him extra pets! He also redirects to an appropriate chew toy easily.
Teddy loves to be where his people are and will follow us from room to room. He will also try to be a lap dog occasionally. But he is generally pleased just to be in your presence. Surprisingly, he doesn't bark a lot! He will join in if our dogs are barking at the delivery driver or at a squirrel outside and will sometimes whine/howl when he first goes in his crate. But that's about it.
Overall, Teddy has been an excellent housemate despite his initially rough start to life. He would love a family that wants to snuggle with him regularly and doesn't mind him being present for all of your daily household activities. He would love a fenced yard to run in or an active house that wants to help him learn to walk on a leash. Teddy loves the companionship of our dogs and would do best in a home with another young, playful dog. But he may also do fine as an only dog if his human is home regularly.
Teddy is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age.

Twin Cities Pet Rescue (TCPR) is a small, 501c3 nonprofit, companion animal rescue organization. TCPR does not have a facility and is 100% foster-based. TCPR rescues dogs, cats and small animals of all breeds; rescuing them from city impounds, puppy mills, and other situations of abuse and neglect. Once rescued, all animals receive veterinary care ranging from spay/neuter, vaccines, microchips, and basic testing to specialty eye surgeries, pet dermatology care, and various other specialty treatments. Once an animal is rescued by TCPR, it remains in a foster home until adopted, no matter how long that might take.
TCPR often rescues animals that are considered “less adoptable” by other rescue organizations, as they are often the ones overlooked and truly left behind; and in need of the most help. These animals might be overlooked due to their age, health status, special needs or breed. TCPR works to help as many animals in need find their furever families as we can, especially helping those animals that need help most.
